[TRNSYS-users] How can I add a TRNLIB component to TRNSYS ?

[David BRADLEY]

Nicolas,

  It depends a bit on what version of TRNSYS you are using. If you are 
using v18 then there is a built-in Fortran compiler and you should be 
able to take the source code file (which is just a text file with a 
different extension), compile it and make a dll. If you are using an 
earlier TRNSYS version then it is a bit more complicated and you will 
need to have access to a Fortran compiler. The Intel Fortran compiler 
plugs into the same Visual Studio that already contains your C++ compiler.

kind regards,

  David
